Utah Jazz Betting Preview
The Utah Jazz have been ice-cold to start the season as they’ve lost eight of their first nine games and they are now looking to snap a seven-game slide after falling well short to the Mavericks in a 112-100 road defeat on Friday. Lauri Markkanen led the team with 24 points on eight of 20 shooting, Darryn Peterson added 21 points with five assists while Keyonte George chipped in with 16 points, six rebounds and nine assists. As a team, the Jazz shot 44 percent from the field and 15 of 39 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start and kept pace with the Mavericks until the Mavericks closed the third quarter on a ferocious 21-3 run to snatch the game away from them.
Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been on a nice run as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Pelicans in a 115-109 road win on Friday. Ayo Dosunmu led the team with 26 points on eight of 14 shooting, Jaden McDaniels added 23 points with six rebounds and five assists, LaMelo Ball scored 22 points with eight assists while Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 43 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they battled the Pelicans in a tightly contested game that could’ve gone either way until the fourth quarter where the Timberwolves used a pivotal 15-5 run to pull away and escape with the gritty win.
Utah v Minnesota Free Prediction
The Jazz have ruled out Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson Jr with Lauri Markkanen listed as questionable, while the Timberwolves are still missing Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards.
The Jazz are still struggling for air as they’ve only earned one win so far and they could be missing Markkanen who was their leading scorer in their last game, so this just looks like a great spot for the Timberwolves to secure a blowout win at home against a wounded, struggling Jazz team. The line is a bit hefty, but the Jazz are still winless on the road and they are just too banged up to trouble this Timberwolves squad who have some injuries of their own.
